They empower shoppers with the technology and flexibility to earn money on their own schedules while serving communities by providing access to the foods they love. With a growing demand for fast, reliable grocery delivery, Instacart has become a prominent player in the on-demand delivery industry, combining innovative app-based ordering with personalized customer service and secure delivery processes.

The Full-Service Shopper role at Instacart is an exciting opportunity for individuals seeking flexible, entry-level work that allows them to earn quickly while balancing other commitments. As a Full-Service Shopper, you will be responsible for receiving grocery orders through Instacart's shopper app, visiting various stores in your designated area to pick the items requested by customers, and then delivering these groceries safely and efficiently to their homes. This position is ideal for those who enjoy being active, working independently, and providing excellent customer service. Full-Service Shoppers are integral to Instacart's mission of creating a world where everyone has access to fresh, quality food conveniently.

Applicants must be 18 years or older (21+ for delivering alcohol) and be eligible to work in the United States.
